The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
In pinus, a conifer tree, the microspores are produced by
microsporogenesis in microsporangium. Each microsporangium has an inner
nourishing layer known as tapetum. A large number of dusty and two
winged microspores are present. On maturity the microsporangium wall
bursts and microspores (pollens) are released in the air which is called shower of
sulphur. They are dispersed by wind due to presence of wings. So,
the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason
is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
